Do i have to remove my braces (invisalign) in order to take tylenol?

this has to do with my previous questions about my invisalign. according to the dentist and the manafacturers of invisalign I can only have invisalign in my mouth for water, but my teeth hurts and i don't want to take them out. I have already taken them out to eat pizza-it was really sore before i took them out and after i put them back in. Any help is welcomed.

As long as you do not have trouble swallowing the pill, go for it. But, only if it is a pill, don't do liquids or chewables. They tell you that b/c almost everything sticks to that material/stains it. However, ibuprofen/motrin works better for teeth pain. I like aleve the best on teeth pain from braces. This is b/c tylenol has no antiinflammatory action which is what is causing a lot of your pain.
Reply:I would say not, your not chewing the pill, your swallowing it, but if your that concerned, call your orthodontist.
Reply:You should be fine to leave them in while you are taking some Tylenol. Here's a hint: next time you are getting ready to start a new set of trays take some Tylenol about 30 minutes before and that will help with any soreness. Good luck!
